Our business has been built around respect, integrity, fairness and our passion for the arts. Perhaps the easiest way to explain why we do things the way we do is to share with you our own internal staff introduction letter.Click to read.

Our special brand of free blog service is specially designed
for you to promote your business. Simply write (we can even help you do that)
something useful, interesting or entertaining for our readers and place links to
your website.

Because our sites are highly ranked by search engines, your blogs and links
will have a better chance of being seen.

People born with music,letters or paint in their veins are both
blessed and cursed. Seeing how most of them struggle to gain rightful
recognition prompted us to start the web-zine, TalentUnplugged back in 1997. to seek out
and promote unknown talent – a much tougher task
than we anticipated. These pages need updating badly, but art is
timeless, so they are here for you to enjoy.

Francis was so impressed with the founder of this charity when she came to get some printing done that he immediately plunged into it and took on the role of vice president.

Lend your support to this organisation set up the plucky 66-year-old ex-cancer sufferer Sylvia Slykhuis Berjas taking steps (as have many others before) to raise awareness and funds for the wider good. There is, however, a huge difference in her approach:
 It's transparent.
 It's not another "research".
 It's direct action.The Transparent Charity Inc

Short Run Book Printing
- Our Specialty

and yes, you'll look good with us!

• Save on Low Volume Printing • Rapid
Turnaround.

We are a very special small Australian printer – a printer with deep
graphics roots specialising in short run, very high quality
print and book production. Although we have been serving mainly the
Leichhardt, Rozelle, Balmain area for very many years, our reputation has won us
interstate and overseas customers as well.

We care! You will see it in
the standard of our work and service. We are also quite unique in the
range of services we provide. If quality is what you want, you'll
certainly look good with us.

Digital Printing

Digital printing has never looked so good - and in unsurpassed
turnaround times!

We have finally switched off our offset equipment to make space for more of
the latest digital printers. Production times have been greatly reduced and
extremely high quality full colour work can be completed within hours
and at much lower prices than was previously possible. Now that we are 100%
digital, you can bet we will be even more efficient.

"Doing business with FC Productions, you can expect
expert advice and assistance to get you the best possible result –
always!"

Our regular customers enjoy a very special kind of service. Because
we have the fire power, we are able to, for instance, print, cut and pack 5,000 full
colour DL flyers in under 2 hours, or print and bind 2,000 20-page
A4 booklets overnight – without compromising quality.

Ultra short run prints like 1 copy CV printed and bound within an hour? Yes! (Of course subject to pressure of work at that time.) We treat the little guy just as we treat the
big guys – with respect and great service.

"FC Productions have
set a standard by which others in the printing industry should be
judged!"

Short Run Book Printing

With our expanded digital print service it is now feasible for you to
order commercial print quality books in very small
quantities – like 1(ONE).

We offer the full range of production – from cover design, through
page and book layout to on-time delivery. And all in the high standard
we are known for. Read more

Laminating, Cello-Glazing and Binding

Care, experience, condition of equipment and high quality material combine to produce the better result.

Binding types: saddle stitch, comb, wire and perfect binding.

Our new saddle stitching machine can produce smart looking square backs
(somewhat like perfect binding, but without the extra cost). This is suitable
for thicker saddle stitched books like manuals and workbooks. Looks great!

Large Format Printing

With the introduction of our new 12-colour wide format printer which
the manufacturer claims to have some 24,000 nozzles blah, blah, blah,
you will be able to enjoy our acclaimed high efficiency + stunning
quality without any dent to our usual calm, friendly helpful way. Its
high speed will ensure stress-free on-time delivery.

Don't expect our large prints to be cheap because we do not compromise on the
quality of material we use. You simply cannot get stunning prints from cheap
substitute inks... and our colours just last and last and last! In reality, we are inexpensive because Quality Pays!

Headshots Printing

Calling all members of the performing arts industry. You have just found THE Australian specialist in Headshots.

Long before the age of digital printing, we were one of Sydney's finest
professional photo labs serving professional photographers and modeling
agencies. We therefore know what it takes to produce beautiful headshots.

With our high-end digital equipment, there is now greater flexibility and you
can expect top jobs ranging from business cards to large format prints –
all at surprisingly affordable prices plus our usual helpful service.

Web Design

Although our main line of business is in print production, we
actually started life as a graphic design / pre-press company nearly
ten years ago. As you can see from the other parts of this site, we are
also very much into computer programming – currently working on a major
web application.

This background has enabled us to specialise in fast loading,
efficient designs that give your visitors the information they are
looking for – with ease and great speed. We work directly in XHTML code
rather than rely on pre-packaged offerings which on the whole generate less
efficient code. As a result, your visitors will enjoy a clean, fast site.
Furthermore, our way of designing your site makes it easier (hence lower cost)
for future updates.

And, typical of our general attitude of giving customers more than
they ask for, we do more than merely design your web pages. We help you
present your message more effectively as well as giving you a slight
advantage in search engine ranking – even without the need to pay for
their marketing fees.

The proof is here. You've probably found us because we are on the
first screen in your search result. Our online bookstore www.writersandebooks.com is also top ranking, with practically all our authors and book titles being ranked in the Top 10 in search results!

***** We
simply love what we do. *****

Print Management Service

You can now get the complete A-Z for all your printing needs expertly managed for you by a proven team of highly experienced professionals.

Our rise to fame is in our special niche of short run book printing where we surprised the market by successfully combining extreme quality book production with amazingly affordable prices even down to a SINGLE COPY! ... and most times completing within 24 hours.

We are now offering this same "unbelievable" standard of service and affordable pricing to the high volume end of the market.

Please don't expect us to be the cheapest, but you certainly can't
say we're expensive. Let's just say we'll leave you satisfied - promise!
